STEP 3: RECEIVE COUPON CODE:
At the end of the promotion, we will then email you a coupon code that you can apply as a credit to your AdWords account based on the amount you have spent. You can use your AdWords credit up to the expiration date which will be listed in the email.

We haven't received our code yet.

These'll be on their way soon, I'm sure.

As I not wasn't involved with this promotion personally, I'm now aware of when the codes will be sent out. But I'll certainly find out, and then post again - most likely on Monday.

Thanks for participating, and for your patience regarding the codes. Both are appreciated. ;)

Oops. Just saw this thread, waiting for my update, as I was scanning for feedback to include in this evening's report.

I've pinged the team behind the 'promotion' and was told that that these codes should be sent out towards the end of this month. They apologized for the delay, and so do I.

Thanks again for your patience.

Of course. I'll ping the folks in charge, and post again as soon as I've heard back.

Sorry for the delay. It has been quite awhile, and I apologize.

OK, back with some info, right from the source.

I spoke with the person behind the promotion, who first asked me to offer her apology for the delay, and who then told me that the codes will go out this week. Rather than say 'tomorrow', I'll say 'by the end of the week', and hope for sooner. ;)

By the way, it turns out you're in good company, having decided to try the rebate offer. A lot of the delay is down to the very large number of advertisers who responded.

In any case, thanks again for having given the rebate offer a shot - and thanks also for your patience. Both are very much appreciated.

I just received the rebate code. That's the good news.

The bad news is that when it was sent to my Gmail account by the AdWords team it was filtered into the SPAM box and I almost missed it. When I moved it back to the in-box and opened it i got a "phishing" warning:

Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information. Learn more

AWA you may want to ping the team about this one!

This was an offer to activate content coverage from early August to Sept. 30. There was a rebate based on the amount of spend. The program is now over.

Thanks very much for the heads-up Tropical Island!

I've pinged that team, who tell me that is it's probably because the words "login" and "account" and a dollar amount are listed in the email. The email was tested for 'spam rating' and appeared to be A-OK - but your experience suggests otherwise. So thanks very much for the info!

AWA, just thought of something else.

A month or so ago I received two e-mails in my Gmail account that were phishing e-mails that appeared to come from Gmail. I sent one into the support people. It may be that this has some effect on mail arriving from Google although how it would affect AdWords is strange.

Got the code yesterday. To those wondering, you only got the offer if your account had the Content option switched off.

RedWolf, yes, I believe that all codes have been sent. So, it is probably best to write to AdWords support from within the account you are referring to, and request that they take a look.

I'm very sorry to hear, of course, that showing on content partners has not worked out well for you.
